The Military Intelligence Directorate release its annual Passover riddle on TikTok on Tuesday which is meant to be extremely difficult to solve.
Last year’s riddle released proved so difficult that only 0.1% of people who tried to solve it were successful. This year’s threatens to be just as difficult.
@idfofficial אחרי שנה שלמה! כנהוג בחג הפסח – חידת אמ”ן חוזרת: הקוד הראשון כבר בפנים. תצליחו לפתור?
The video uploaded on Tuesday by the IDF’s official TikTok account showed an IDF spokesperson telling viewers that the first clue to the riddle is hiding in the video.
How does this year’s riddle start?
“This riddle has a few stages,” he says. “And in the end, everything will add up to one barcode that will reveal the answer to the riddle. So friends, look very closely at the pictures I put here for you because the beginning of the riddle is hiding right here.”
The video opens with a collage containing a background of binary code, cubes, the directorate’s symbol, a dog, a zodiac wheel and Leonardo da Vinci.
While the soldier is speaking, other pictures of pyramids, a QR code, a man sitting at a table with a leaf bib, a matzah and a penguin flash across the screen. Any or all of these pictures may help you solve the riddle.
The riddle was also published on the Directorate’s official website.
“What’s the connection between a TikTok video, a griddler and a Eurovision song?” the Directorate wrote. “And how will they help you get to the four parts of a secret code? We hope it takes you less than 40 years to crack it.”
Think you can be among the 0.1% who solved last year’s riddle? Give it a go!
